History is not a must for, though highly regarded by, top law schools. Between History HL and Eng A HL, the latter should be chosen if one is to be picked. Other 2 HL subjects should also be sufficiently challenging. From your choices of HL subjects, there should be no problem with top law schools.

Suggestions

HL eng lit, history, and Maths or Economic or Geography

SL language ( not Chinese), and whatever you like.

No matter what you choose, must highly respect your child's interest.

Could you share what language your eldest kid took for group 2 - Chinese A or B or other? If Chinese B, was it HL or SL? Thanks in advance!

作者: annie40 時間: 16-3-12 00:14

有些科目不是必須的指定科，但考慮到最後那in or not in,還是有份量的傳統學科產生關鍵性效用。沒有修對學科的學生，要用更大更多的氣力來道說自己的passion, (通常第一輪已被淘汰,沒有表白的機會），top U 感覺不到申請者的passion, 多完美的總體學分也是徒然，十分可惜。

讀書最終要有興趣才會讀得好，不要計較太多,預先知道, 就提點孩子兩句,唔鍾意聽，咪由得佢咯。undergraduate 完又postgraduate, 有排讀.

Cambridge 上星期又死左個學生, 原來大學生,依然讓人擔心。

Everything being equal, I think one with high mark in History would have an edge.

家長選定學生自己選?應學生興趣先，才取高分

同意, 家長只可以提供意見, 最後都要由學生按自己興趣及能力決定選科, 讀自己有興趣既科目先會讀到得心應手

BB-CLEVER,

tingtingting's post highlighted a very important consideration in UCAS application with respect to law schools, i.e. don't pick all the 5 choices which require LNAT. At least pick a couple of law schools which do not require LNAT in the application. These will be the choices remaining if LNAT doesn't go well.

If Cambridge is the target, try get at least 42 at IB, which almost guarantees an interview at Cambridge in December and a place in the winter pool. It doesn't matter that much what the subjects are. By the way, although Cambridge doesn't look at LNAT, preparing for LNAT (or LSAT, the US version of the same) may help ace Cambridge Law Test.

作者: tingtingting 時間: 16-3-14 20:33 標題: 回覆：tingtingting 的帖子

True that there is no compulsory subject (like chemistry for medicine or math for economics) for law but history is very relevant to the study of law. At least history students are used to going through written materials and writing long essays.

I am totally with slamai that one should not put 5 LNAT universities in UCAS application. Having said that, some reputable and highly regarded law schools that require LNAT do not really care that much about LNAT as others do (e.g. Durham, Bristol and to a certain extent UCL. I know a girl who got into UCL with a LNAT score of 21). Some top law schools (e.g. Cambridge and LSE) do not ever look at LNAT (although Cambridge does have something similar: Cambridge Law Test).

Do u know anything about HKU-UCL Dual Degree Programme? First 2 years in UCL and then last 2 year in HKU. It is a new programme. For sure it must be very competitive. thanks

作者: tingtingting 時間: 16-3-15 15:56

The programme is still subject to approval but I'm sure there will be no problem. I'm told that there are only 5 places for HKU students for the first year.

According to HKU, "The maximum annual intake to the Programme is 10 students, consisting of a maximum of 5 students recruited by UCL and HKU respectively. "

This programme doesn't save time (vs UCL LLB, conversion exam can be taken during the 3 years of LLB) nor money (vs HKU LLB). Putting costs aside, 3 years of LLB + 1 year of LLM (UK) seems to be a better choice than 4 years of 2 LLBs (UK+HK). I think only a small group of students with specific preferences will choose this programme.

My view exactly. Why get two LLB if one can get a LLB + LLM (or MA or BCL) in four years?

slamai & tingtingting,
Thanks! cost is one of my concerns really. Luckily still have plenty of time to collect more info before U applications. Anyway excellent public exam results is the prerequisite for top law schools.

Do you mean HKU's joint programme with King's College? It's 5-year but the last 3 years should be in HKU. It seems that this programme can no longer be found at HKU Law website ... not offered any more?
